I didn't say ONCE I've never played Quake...I played 1 and 2 enough to realize I didn't enjoy IDs games any more than I enjoyed Doom when they made that...I'm simply not really eager to PLAY Q3...

Agreed.

This statement simply isn't true.

Have. Did. Glad to put it down.

"Whole levels that are blue..."

What does THAT seem to say??

(To make sure this is clear)IN MY OPINION, the quake 1 textures we pretty much same ol' same ol'...very dull, drab, and uninteresting. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how it's done...unobtrusive is one thing, but dull and ugly is another...

This is false.

Map viewer isn't a good example, but it shows how good these textures DO look in an engine with more modern graphics-rendering abilities...and voids your above statement.

>M2 had some decent

I concur. I thought it was TOO bright (in the same basic area where quake is too dull IN MY OPINION)

Agreed.

Hehe, I see that you enjoy skewing comments so you can draw false conclusions from them. ;P

FYI, those are just the only games I've played a LOT of in awhile. I've played LOTS of other games, but haven't enjoyed them and as such, they don't stick in my mind, and I wouldn't put them in a list like this.

Excuse me for talking about how much I enjoy BUNGIE games on a BUNGIE fan forum...

You haven't exactly "proven" anything either.

"Cartoonish" is going a bit far. I'd like to see someone make a pfhor-anything model in 3d for one of the modern engines, and have it look good.

>NOT any 3D
> player models or skins in sight)

THE GAME IS ALSO 4+ YEARS OLD!!! Doesn't the fact that it has a dated engine, and people still really, REALLY enjoy it mean anything to you?? If you aren't going to care about that, then I don't see why I should care about how GREAT Quake is just because SO many people play it, and it has a well-programmed engine. THAT'S IT'S STRONG POINT, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

I already knew this...Crack dot Com...

Ex, huh?

Wonder what happened...they probably just quit. Or maybe they wanted to make a game with a compelling story and believable, well-merged graphics, and they got fired j/k

No.

If you read the rest of this message, you will realize you are wrong (unless you choose not to believe me...but if you keep rambling about how "inexperienced" I am, I'll just bring this up every time and suggest you read it again.

BTW, I've NEVER seen YOU post anything "sensible" or "intelligent" in a long, correction, EVER.

Maybe if you'd drop the disgruntled, 14-year-old attitude, you'd change that, though.
